 Where's the integrated battery? :( July 20, 2010

The battery grip is pretty well made and matches the D90 for feel and robustness. I does what it says. Although the ad clearly states that this comes with and intergrated 2800mah battery - no battery...waiting to hear back from amazon, as they fulfilled the order.

This item is an ideal and in my view, neccessary accessory for the Nikon D90 DSLR. It vastly improves the handling and prolongs the available power for extended shooting (I've heard some reviews claiming 5000 JPEG shots but I haven't got that far myself yet!) Cleverly, it uses the two installed batteries individually so it'll exhaust one battery before it starts drawing power from the second. And if you are so prolific a photographer that you manage to run both down, there is a cradle included which holds six AA batteries! I reckon the memory card will fill up before the power goes...There is also a shutter release button on the battery grip which makes shooting in portrait a breeze - oh, and it's lockable so you won't accidentally fire off any shots due to clumsy handling. This unit is solidly built, practical and comfortable to use, just as you would expect from a premium company like Nikon. Sure, it's more expensive than other so called 'compatible' units but I'd much rather have an accessory which I know is 100% compatible with my expensive DSLR than risk damage due to a cheaper third party product. An all round excellent product which I would highly recommend.

I bought this knowing that it costs a ridiculously high price for what it is, because the reviews said that the Sigma 150-500mm lens is very power-hungry. It isn't! Maybe I'll find it useful one day.
Having said that, it does what it says on the box. I do take issue with the Amazon description however, which shows it with Nikon batteries in it and nowhere said they are not included. I worked this out before I bought it, but only from one of the reviews.

As with other reviews I can only agree that this is an excellent companion to your D80 or D90 providing more robustness to your camera outfit and of course doubling the power capacity. The catch that holds the battery compartment door closed is a little flimsy compared to the rest of the construction, and that is the only "issue" I had.
Using it is a joy and the abiltity to shoot and control camera functions from the grip itself makes it much more than just a battery pack.
I pondered long and hard before deciding to purchase the genuine Nikon pack as there are ample suppliers on Ebay offering a similar item complete with batteries for aroung half of the cost of the genuine article. The problem I had with the cheaper option was the very mixed reviews, but the thing that convinced me to buy the real thing was common sense........ I'd just spent a considerable amount on a genuine Nikon D90 - would I (or would you) have considered buying a generic "lookalike" D90 - I think not...... so why compromise on the accessories you're going to use on it ??
You pay for what you get - especially so in this instance.
A great product.
